Note
Do not leave the OmniBook unattended in MS-DOS mode. The Smart Card
Security System is inactive in this mode.
If you don't have a Smart Card BIOS, the normal BIOS password provides
security.
Using the Secure Folder
By default, your Secure folder is located in C:\Private.
After you have inserted your smart card and correctly entered your PIN,
you can create directories and files within the Secure folder in exactly the
same way as outside the Secure folder. The following guidelines apply.
Storing existing files in the Secure folder
Use your application or Windows Explorer to Save as or Copy to the
Secure folder. Windows NT will also allow you to move files using drag
and drop.
Note that Save as can and Copy to will leave a copy of your document
in the unsecure part of your hard disk, which presents a potential security
risk.
If you move files out of your Secure folder they are decrypted.
Using an existing file in the Secure folder
Use your application to Open and then Save or Save as files stored in
your Secure folder just like you would files in any other folder. Files are
encrypted when they're saved.
Deleting a file in the Secure folder
Use Shift+Delete to permanently delete files from your Secure folder
and not send them to the Recycle Bin.
Note
Do not use Delete to remove files from your Secure folder because this
would decrypt the files and place them in the Recycle Bin.
